In a tense meeting in early March with the special counsel, President Trump’s lawyers insisted he had no obligation to talk with federal investigators probing Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.

But special counsel Robert S. Mueller III responded that he had another option if Trump declined: He could issue a subpoena for the president to appear before a grand jury, according to four people familiar with the encounter.

Mueller’s warning — the first time he is known to have mentioned a possible subpoena to Trump’s legal team — spurred a sharp retort from John Dowd, then the president’s lead lawyer.

And once again the GOP elites, including Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, are silent.

The GOP party elites are NEVER there to defend this president from the ongoing coup d’état of the fascist left.

The Republican elites are never around when this president comes under his daily assault by the liberal mainstream media.

The Republican elites are never around when the Trump supporters are being bludgeoned and bloodied in the streets.

The Republican elites are never around to defend this president from this deep state coup.

It’s clear who the GOP elites stand with — and it’s NOT the American people.
